And a $95,000 payment from a foreign lobby group shortly after the passing of the $14.5 billion military aid package.

Should members of our government be banned from accepting foreign money to push an agenda in the U.S.?

But nonetheless makes Johnson look weak, ineffectual, and reliant on the Democrats.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is vowing to move ahead with a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), even after Democratic leaders said they would shield the Louisiana Republican from a conservative coup.

In a post on X shortly after the top three Democrats announced that they would vote to table a motion to vacate if Greene brought it to the floor — effectively saving Johnson’s job — Greene said she would bring it to the floor regardless.

The Georgia Republican filed her motion to vacate last month, but has not yet said when she plans to trigger a vote on it.

“If the Democrats want to elect him Speaker (and some Republicans want to support the Democrats’ chosen Speaker), I’ll give them the chance to do it,” Greene said. “I’m a big believer in recorded votes because putting Congress on record allows every American to see the truth and provides transparency to our votes.”

Mike Johnson is officially the Democrat Speaker of the House. Here is their official endorsement of his Speakership.

What slimy back room deal did Johnson make for the Democrats’ support?

He should resign, switch parties, and continue voting for Biden’s open border invasion of America, endless wars, full term abortion on demand, trans agenda on children, warrantless spying on the American people, weaponizing government against President Trump and his supporters, and every other Democrat wishlist item he’s handed over.

If the Democrats want to elect him Speaker (and some Republicans want to support the Democrats’ chosen Speaker), I’ll give them the chance to do it.

I’m a big believer in recorded votes because putting Congress on record allows every American to see the truth and provides transparency to our votes.

Americans deserve to see the Uniparty on full display. I’m about to give them their coming out party!

Democrats won a special election for a House seat in western New York Tuesday, The Associated Press projected, further shrinking the GOP's narrow majority in the chamber.

Democratic state Sen. Tim Kennedy defeated Republican town supervisor Gary Dickson in New York’s 26th District, a reliably blue area which includes Buffalo and some of the surrounding suburbs. Democrats will now control 213 seats in the House compared to 217 for the Republicans. Five seats remain vacant.

Kennedy will serve the remainder of Democratic Rep. Brian Higgins' term. The 10-term congressman resigned in February to run a local performing arts center, and he had some choice words for partisan gridlock in the House. Higgins told the Buffalo News late last year that Congress is “in a very, very bad place” and that “we’re at the beginning phases of a deterioration of the prestige of the institution.”

Intuitively, we all know Johnson has sex with farm animals and the space aliens.

So now that it's failed, it's over until/unless she files a new motion, I hope?

College anti-Israel agitators could be sent to Gaza under new House GOP bill
'I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity,' says Rep Randy Weber

A new House Republican bill would send any person charged and convicted for illegal activity on a college campus to Gaza for at least six months.
